Course Description
As an owner of transformers you are faced with the challenge of how to minimize downtime and maximize life expectancy of your valuable asset. With budget restraints, what testing should be done and how often you should perform maintenance is crucial. This transformer forum will review what traditional and new maintenance testing procedures should be utilized by transformer owners. We will also look at the latest developments in oil testing, analysis, on-line monitoring, and oil restoration. We will also have the latest information on Federal PCB regulations.

Today's capital spending on new and replacement transformers is at its lowest level in decades. To make matters worse, the load on each transformer (or its utilization) continues to grow. Increased equipment utilization, deferred capital expenditures and reduced maintenance expenses are all challenges facing today’s transformer owner.

Many electric utilities and large industrial, commercial and institutional owners of medium and large power transformers are beginning to develop their own "Life Cycle Transformer Management" programs.

Our Transformer Forums will deal with many of the technical and economic issues dealing with a) The Screening Process to prioritize the transformer fleet; b) Transformer Condition Assessment of individual transformers, and c) Life Cycle Decisions: retire, refurbish, replace, relocate.

Students will learn safe and proper maintenance and testing procedures on power transformers. The course covers transformers used in commercial and industrial power distribution systems, including oil and dry-type units. Larger power transformers used in utility applications are also covered.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to:
  1. Understand the basics of transformer asset management.
  2. Understand transformer life cycle and maintenance planning
  3. Learn sulphur in transformer oil solutions
  4. Learn how to resolve moisture in transformer oil
  5. Understand turns ratios and calculate terminal voltage and current.
  6. Learn about proposed Federal PCB transformer regulations
  7. Understand transformer operation, aging and failure
  8. Understand transformer standards
  9. Understand transformer factory testing and quality assurance
  10. Understand the electrical testing methods performed on transformers such as insulation resistance testing, excitation and power factor testing.
  11. Understand transformer on-line monitoring techniques
  12. Understand the various tests performed on insulating oil.
